Scripture Text to Read: Jeremiah
29:11 Date: February 23, 2015When
I was a little boy, my parents were always told that God has great plans for
me. Even now I still hear the same thing from different people. Although, like most
everyone else, before I realized what God had called me to do, I had my own
plans. I wanted to be in law enforcement, preferably the canine unit. I also
even had a dream of being a weapon specialist or a chaplain in the Army, but
God had bigger and better plans for me at this point in my life. I even tried
applying to at least two other colleges. I had applied to Miller Motte College
and also Fayetteville Technical College. For a little while there I did not
think I would get into college at all, because it always seemed something
hindered me from being fully enrolled. Then I was told maybe I should try
Heritage Bible College, so I did. Then eventually it all started to come
together. Within a month’s timespan I
had a car, a job, and even got accepted into college.Have
you ever wondered what your purpose or plan in life is? Well, so have I. As I
am sure we all have at some point, I began to ask myself what exactly is my
purpose in life and wondered if I even had one. Do you know what God’s big
plans are for your life? Have you asked God what His plans are for you? If you
haven’t, I highly suggest that you do so right now. Whether you have or you
haven’t, and no matter what God’s answer is, don’t mistake God’s silence for
His absence. Just remember that God has a plan for each and every person’s life
and that God’s timing is sometimes not our timing. He knows what is best for
our lives. Let’s face it; sometimes we can be a little irrational about things.
Sometimes we just have to be patient until God reveals to us what His big plan
is for our life. This
scripture for today tells us that the Lord has plans for each and every one of
us; we may not always know what it is. The verse tells us that the Lord isn’t
here to harm us! He is here to lead and guide us if we will only trust Him. God
wants to do marvelous things through us. As clearly stated at the end of the
verse, the Lord has plans for our future. This verse I hope speaks volumes to
someone out there-- volumes that say God knows what He is doing, and no matter
what you are going through, remember the Lord has a future that He is lining up
for you.Life Question: Are you ready to follow God’s plan to find your
purpose?Prayer: God, help me to know what your plan is for my life and to trust you
with my future.Samuel
